#going through my drafts

currently thinking about how the first time we see percy show signs of suicidal ideation was when he landed in the water beneath the gateway arch and stated that he wished he could drown himself. currently thinking about how his mom was the only person that kept him grounded throughout his childhood thus far, and, in turn, the chance of saving her being the only thing that kept him alive in his darkest moments.

still shocked at how the writers completely and utterly fucking destroyed the entire point of the dance.

rhaenyra wasn't usurped because alicent misunderstood viserys's words, rhaenyra was usurped because she was a woman.

alicent didn't make aegon king because she thought that's what viserys wanted, she did it to protect her children and because of her own ambitions.

both of these statements are true and can coexist. rhaenyra being heir did put alicent's sons' lives in danger, but if rhaenyra was a man the dance would never have happened.

viserys was the one at fault here. 100%.

but now the dance happened because someone misheard something.

common batfamily misconceptions

in no particular order

- dick sees alfred as a father, not a grandfather (honestly, most of the batkids do)

- tim is not CEO of wayne enterprises, he is just a shareholder

- tim has not killed anyone in the main continuity

- dick grayson is not a cop, he VERY BRIEFLY was but it was like 20 years ago and it was in order to root out corrupt cops

- dick was not adopted by bruce until he was in his twenties (around the time tim is adopted). dick was his ward, not his son.

- jason was not revived by the lazarus pit, he was only healed by it. he un-died six months after he was buried because superboy prime messed with the universe (?? idk either), which is when he dug out of his grave. he then wandered around gotham while mostly brain-dead and very injured until talia found him and took him to nanda parbat. there she dunked him in the pit, which healed his injuries and his brain damage

- we don’t know all that much about jason’s time post-resurrection, honestly. all i know for sure is he was sent to train with the All Caste for a while, and was trained by Lady Shiva after joining the League

- babs was the first batfam member to meet cass

- tim did not follow Batman and Robin around with a camera, he just kept track of them in the news and saved articles / photos

- tim DID however stalk dick in blüdhaven, and followed bruce around with a camera post-jason’s death in order to get evidence that bruce was using excessive force (which he showed to dick to try and convince him to be robin again)

- talia did not rape bruce, that was a writer being shitty and racist and it’s been ret-conned

- jason is not tim’s robin. tim actually thinks robin!jason is kinda lame. the first time they meet (at Titans Tower) tim basically just bullies jason when he figures out who he is

- ‘lazarus pit rage’ is not actually a thing. jason was young, brutally murdered, brought back from the brink of death, and extremely traumatized and upset. the things he did while starting out as Hood should not be diminished by having an excuse like ‘pit rage’. he was a traumatized teenager and he was hurt, so he hurt others.

- dick was not mean to robin!jason. he was a good older brother, but he was busy with the titans and college and just didn’t have much free time to spend in gotham with him

Soap just wanders. He's like a little kid that will bolt the second there's not eyes on him. He just likes to explore, can you really fault the guy for that? Scared the team shitless one time though-

They were all stationed at a safe house with vast woods surrounding it. The house is only a couple minutes drive from the place they've been scouting for about a week. They arrive back after taking out everyone in the compound and snagging the files they needed. Everyone is settling down but Soap still has energy coursing through his veins, so Ghost tells him to go run around outside like a dog to tire himself out. He's specifically instructed to be home before dark. "Gawwwd guys- I'm nae some kid!" He complains pouting like a child and completely contradicting his point, making Ghost snicker. He goes out anyways with a huff, leaving the other three to attempt and scrounge together something to eat with what's rotting in the cupboards. He stalks around the property for a while, kicking rocks and refusing to do overwatch like Price told him to do. Something shiny piques his interest as he stalks along the treeline. He pauses trying to catch a glimpse of whatever was glistening but can't spot it again from his position. He inches closer, peering into the woods more and remebers Price telling him to 'stay on the property'. Once again treating him like a child. He's a grown ass man! If he wants to frolic in the woods he should be allowed to! He can fend for himself, he's a big military man and they still procede to baby him. Whatever, Price can eat his nards for all he cares, he won't take that long anyways, just a little look.

Spoiler alert: he does take that long.

The sun has already set and Soap agreed to be back 20 minutes ago. 20 minutes isn't long but anything can happen in twenty minutes. He could be dead in a ditch and they would be none the wiser! Price has been pacing for the past couple minutes and Ghost had gone outside to search the land surrounding the house while Gaz tried to be helpful but was also panicking. The sun had already set and he was supposed to be back already. He hadn't brought his radio out with him either so there was no way of contacting him. He'd taken his handgun and a knife or two but still. Ghost didn't doubt he was a capable soldier, none of them did. But for him to go seemingly missing so soon after they'd wiped a base with no form of contact was worrying. 30 minutes had gone by at this point with no sign of soap and Price was two minutes away from contacting Laswell. Ghost and Gaz had suited up and were ready to go looking when there was a knock at the door. Time froze and Ghost quietly stalked up to the door. He slowly opened it and shoved the barrel of his gun into a familiar Scottish face. "Woah LT. s' jus' me." He responded with his palms towards ghost. Ghost was shoved out of the way and Soap was met with a very angry Captain John Price. Price roughly snatched his shirt and yanked him into the safehouse. "Sargent are you out of your goddamn mind!? Where on God's green earth were you!? You said you'd be back by dark!" He barked in Soaps face. "Exploring" he answered and didn't elaborate further. Price paused looking a little dumbfounded before slapping him harshly on the back of the head. "Ow" Soap mumbled reaching up to rub at his nape. Price gripped his shoulders with so much force Soap could feel his bones creek. "Pull some shit like that again and I'll personally skin you. Got it?" He spat obviously still shaken. "Yes, Sir." He responded looking at his shoes. Gaz dropped his gear and stomped over towards Soap "Had me worried fucking sick. Price was this close to calling Laswell to get a search party out here for ya." Gaz held up his fingers so they were almost touching each other, Soap could tell he was also stressed. "Ahm sorry ah dinnae mean tah, get distracted," he shrugged sheepishly. Suddenly all the air was knocked out of his lungs as Gaz drew him into a crushing hug. " You're a fuckin idiot."

The fact that it takes me longer to read whenever Shakepeare talks because my teeny tiny brain is trying to understand what he said.

I think people who get offended on Tywin’s behalf when he gets compared to Otto are funny af bc like… yall know Otto is arguably the more accomplished one right? Otto successfully married his daughter to the king and got 4 royal grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. His daughter was the queen for twenty years. He didn’t die on the toliet or by the hand of his own son. If anything Otto should be the one offended by this comparison.

Just thinking about this quote from SPQR by Mary Beard:

"Unchecked competition eventually did more to destroy than to uphold the Republic. Even before that, it is a fair guess that for every young Roman inspired to live up to the achievements of his ancestors, there was another oppressed by the weight of tradition and expectation that fell upon him" (pg. 187-188).

And it made me think of the twins. I can't figure out my thoughts on this fully but hopefully someone else sees the vision
